The original PDQ restaurant opened in South Tampa and the concept now has 39 locations throughout Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Nevada, North Carolina, South Carolina and Texas.

PDQ hosted a similar book drive last year. With the help of its guests and Boys & Girls Clubs supporters, more than 10,000 books were collected for local clubs.

This year, books will be collected at all PDQ locations. PDQ is looking forward to working with its local clubs to add more library resources for children to enjoy.

“We are honored to participate in an event that furthers the advancement of education and benefits local youth,” said Steve Erickson, president of PDQ. “As People Dedicated to Quality, we always remember that people are the heart and soul of our brand and this book drive exemplifies that.”
